About the Cover

The Middle Jurassic (Aalenian-Bajocian) Bearreraig Sandstone Formation of Skye and Raasay is the thickest marine sandstone sequence in the British Isles, here seen forming the east-facing cliffs of Druim an Aonaich on Raasay, with the Palaeogene lava summit of Dun Caan in the distance. An incipient landslip failure occurs on the right-hand-side of the cliff section. A recent study from this locality on syn-rift tectonism on shallow marine sedimentation is described in Scottish Journal of Geology, 55, 35–68. Photo: Brian Bell.
